The Mesa Design Review Board recently met to discuss Get Air’s plans for a 54.4KSF trampoline park and retail building on 3.5 acres at the NEC of Elliot and Ellsworth roads.
The DRB meeting focused on landscaping and design elements, according to a local news report. No action was taken.
The preliminary site plan shows the proposed building would be divided into three primary segments: 27.8KSF for the Get Air indoor trampoline facility, 6.2KSF for a veterinary office and 20KSF for other retail/commercial tenants. The retail portion could be broken into smaller suites, if needed.
As submitted, the project narrative says, “Get Air is excited about this project, as it is the first time we have been able to design and build something to our specific use. Get Air has been looking for a building in the Mesa area for the last four years. To date, we have not been able to find the appropriate building for our use.
“We have now purchased 3.5 acres of land, within the development located on the NE corner of Ellsworth and Elliot, East Gate Plaza for constructing our own building. As you may be aware, the developer has already started developing most of the 17-acre site in this commercial center.”
According to the submitted project description, “As a trampoline park, Get Air needs a building with high, approximately 24-foot, ceiling clearances and a wide open 25,000 to 30,000 SF floor area with few column interruptions. We are proposing a 30-foot-tall basic wall height with additional height for wall height modulations and screens for mechanical equipment. To accommodate the relatively tall walls we are proposing tilt-up concrete wall construction with a steel-framed roof deck. We intend to look compatible with the rest of the retail center by using similar colors, materials and forms as much as possible.”
The complete submittal includes requests for a major site plan modification, a special use permit for the taller-than-standard building height, and alternative compliance for materials covering more then 50% of the walls.
The named project owner is Elliot & Ellsworth Investment Properties LLC, an entity that traces back to Diversified Partners. The design firm is Gould Plus Architects. EPS Group is the applicant and project representative. The general contractor is Zwick Construction.
